hello,

this board is a clone of m575dma from pcchips.
retailer brand name is, topgun pentium mmx mainboard.
i´ve flashed it succsefully, bot the autodetect function in bios doesn´t work.
bios stopped, board hangs. only reset works.
if autodetect function is set to off, system boots after hdd is setting manually to the bios.
is there anything i´ve done wrong?

thanks

Set the HDD parameters to AUTO/LBA.

If it works ok, don't worry about it.
Flash your BIOS at your own risk.

You've just "hybridized" 2 PCCHIPS boards: the M575 and the M537DMA.... :)

Make sure you've really got the M575 (the only TXPRO with onboard sound).

@gmc, you seem to have the 2/1998 BIOS. Why don't you try the 4/1999 release?

It's an AMI BIOS. We can't patch it - it should support large HDD already, but it looks as though there is a problem.

HDD should have printed parameters for Cylinder/Head/Sector on it - enter these and enable LBA

Worked for me with M571 + 5/99 Bios and Seagate 40GB

My "famous" friend (see the link NickS provided) with the M575 now has a 120GB HDD connected to it. Pure BIOS support; no drive overlay software.
